Right shoulder pain continues to be a problem for Toronto Blue Jays ace Marcus Stroman, who has been placed on the 10-day disabled list.

Gold Glove winner Stroman will spend some time on the sidelines due to shoulder fatigue – the move retractive to May 9 – the Blue Jays announced before their MLB showdown with the Boston Red Sox on Friday.

"It just got to the point where it was so mentally and physically frustrating, I just need to take a step back for a second, put it all together and come back and be myself out there," Stroman said.

The Jays also announced that left-handed reliever Tim Mayza has been optioned to Triple-A Buffalo and Toronto recalled right-handers Joe Biagini and Sam Gaviglio, who are primary candidates to take Stroman's spot in the rotation.
